"Most jewelry stands are passive objects. They sit quietly on dressers, functioning as background tools for storage. But jewelry stand challenges that expectation by repositioning the humble organizer as an active curator, one that stages jewelry the way a gallery stages art. Designed exclusively for the MoMA Design Store and distributed internationally, the piece reframes what a daily-use object can be: not just a holder, but a display system, a sculpture, and a small architectural experiment."
"Instead of approaching the project as a decorative accessory, Arora treated it as a spatial design problem. The stand consists of two powder-coated iron panels that interlock to form a stable three-dimensional structure. This construction method eliminates fasteners entirely, allowing the object to assemble intuitively while maintaining structural strength. The gesture feels architectural, like slotting together planes in a scale model, suggesting that the designer is thinking less like a stylist and more like a builder of systems."
"What makes the object particularly compelling is how it transforms jewelry into part of its visual composition. A rhythmic field of geometric perforations allows stud earrings to pass directly through the surface, effectively turning the panel into a customizable exhibition wall. Integrated hooks accommodate necklaces and bracelets, suspending them in clean vertical lines. Rather than hiding accessories, the stand frames them, making everyday items feel intentional and composed."

Iterative prototyping refined metal thickness, balance, and joint tolerances to achieve stability and visual precision.
